living room wall mural ideas

our next step in our living room project isto actually roll the paint on to the wall. as you can see, we have already cut it allin. it's ready to go. i recommend spending a little extra money and buying some, maybenice four dollar roller. you really do get what you pay for, and you can buy variousnapes. this is for a smooth surface, if the wall was chunky or beat up a lot more, thenyou'd want to buy something with a little more nape to it. so we take our sleeve, justpop it right on the actual roller, and i filled my bucket here with maybe two thirds of thegallon of black paint. i am going to dip my roller, you want to avoid drips at all costs,that's why i am spending a little extra time really making sure that the paint sinks intothe roller like this. as you can see there

is not a lot of excess paint on there. sowe'll just start on one end of the wall and work our way down. keep in mind that we aregoing to be putting on a second coat, so it doesn't have to be perfect. whatever you don'thit this time around, you'll hit when you go over the second coat. it's best to workfrom top to bottom and just get yourself a rhythm down, so you're just gradually movingacross the wall. ok, so there is our first coat on our firstwall, next i am going to show you how to do the trim.
